Versatile Indian actor, Manoj Bajpayee, who walked the red carpet at the 53rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) said that Goa was the place for festivals, films and creativity of filmmakers.

He said, "I just hope and pray that IFFI keeps getting bigger and bigger. It is quite a matter of pride that we host a film festival, where filmmakers from all over the world come with their films."

Bajpayee added that India, as a country, celebrates oneness and such an audience will not be found anywhere else. "It is a country that celebrates oneness. You will not get such amazing audience anywhere. It is better to split all kinds of festivals, films and creativity of filmmakers. This is the place, and Goa is the place."
